FAQ's:
**Accommodations: We have a nice 4-star hotel booked in Hveragerði. Each couple will have their own room and single travelers will have their own bed in a shared room.
**Adventure Level: We will do and see some amazing things, most of which have have at least a small level of adventure to them. When it comes to hikes, none of them are too strenuous. Some are steep but very short, some are a little longer, but not steep at all. Very doable for beginners and most fitness levels.
**Getting Around Iceland: We have five SUV's rented. A Tripio guide will drive one of them and we will need to have four Revival members to help in driving the others. Rentals are fully insured. If there is a driver and group of 3+ wanting to do something in free time or different on the itinerary, you may take an suv and go do that.
**Getting There: E Z P Z ;) Fly in and out of Reykjavik (KEF). We suggest checking Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, Google Flights, and Skyscanner for best rates.
**How firm is the Itinerary? There are countless things to do in Iceland and we've made sure your group will experience the ones best for you! Some of the top excursions are booked in advance and are firm, but this is your trip! If there's something you don't want to participate in or something else you'd rather do, we'll help you do that! We'll stick to the itinerary for all those who want to join the main group.
